Chirons at Keighley
Discussion
Doing a speculative google of Chirons for sale as I'm bored on a Friday night, and noticed that there are 4 for sale on Autotrader, all of them at the notorious Motorhub in Keighley.
Anyone know the backstory of how they have 4 of them? Given their reputation, I can't imagine people are queuing up to buy a Chiron from them?

yes they have phoenixed at least once though
They were dodgy even before the Keighley Trade Centre days, the value of the cars has just continued to ramp up.
They have a LaFerrari listed at the moment too along with a few million of other cars.
As a local that was into Japanese imports I'd pop over now and again to look at stuff and it usually clear they'd been buying a kit if damaged stuff in Japanese auctions and carrying out really poor repairs.
Thankfully we had other local places that were far more legit but KTC somehow stayed open despite all the negative feedback and evolved into the business that's somehow still going today.
Old topics here cover most of it in detail after PH were allowing them to advertise...

I know they're dodgy as F and I wouldn't entertain the place for a Fiesta let alone a Ferrari..
But I'm genuinely curious how a multi-million pound Chiron (multiple Chirons for that matter) end up at such a place..?
Lambos, Ferraris, G-Wagons, Rolls etc etc I get, they're expensive but not particularly out of reach for cash-rich or successfully dodgy individuals.. But a brace of rare million quid hypercars? Are they fake SOR on behalf of some rich (very trusting) individuals, or are they somehow owned by the people associated with the company?

I seem to recall it is a money laundering scheme, but I can't remember the details on how it worked now.But I'm genuinely curious how a multi-million pound Chiron (multiple Chirons for that matter) end up at such a place..?
